Me, on the otherhand, They won't miss.
It comes with great sadness, but I can't shake my stalker on here, so I must leave.
I have talked to the mods, and even tho I was punished in the past for some things I said to this a hole, All I get is "put him on my ignore list".
I at least expected a warning PM to the guy or someyhing, with a copy to me, but alas, it is not to be.
Apparently this bully of people has more to offer than I, so it is with much sadness I make this my last post
I want you all to know I have made some good friends here, that I have truely enjoyed spending time with.
Be safe my friends

Just getting caught up.

What Rob said, X10.


Sounding to me like it is time to get out some very large sticks, we've been having to deal with the MIL again for the last 3 or 4 days so I'm in a foul mood anyway!

Wow, some of you guys have been here so regular and so long I feel like I'm peeking in to a private club.

Anyways, introductions here: I am Kevin the Welder, or just Practicalman. From SW corner of Oregon, where I have my own welding shop here. I have always been a Ford guy, and never throw any away, just park them out back where I have old gen2 econolines, a few newer econolines, and a couple of 70s vintage pickups plus an '86 T-bird 5.0 and an old Ford school bus (most all have titles)... Add my current drivers: a '96 F350 7.5 dually, and a '95 Escort wagon.

Hope to check in from time to time here and become part of the group.

-Practicalman

Too quick and no reason to risk plugging up the drain field....


I remember my experience on the water board from SERE school. We could use that as a precursor...... Now repeat after me: We have the right to remain silent, anything we say (type or write) can and will be used.............


Time to quit dreaming and get Diana to the Doctor.
